Happy Birthday, Metrocurean

I was too busy eating Locopops this past weekend to note Metrocurean's one-year milestone. What started as an experiment to see how easy Blogger was to use quickly turned into something more serious and, I hope, useful to the people out there who enjoy eating as much as I do.

Looking back at some favorite posts, Metrocurean dissected the anatomy of a fry, whined about paper coffee cups, searched for a weeknight joint, uncovered Tabaq's location, debated Starbucks' popularity, doled out some tips for a new resident, peeked into Icing-gate at CakeLove, and brought you lots of news on restaurant openings, closings and happenings.

Thanks for all your comments and tips this past year, and most of all, thanks for reading.

For local food news, I start with your Blog first and it holds a position of prominence on my Safari Bookmark Bar: between my granddaughter Iona's blog and my Provident Bank online access. Happy Anniversary!

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
